The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

When Chu Yunxi heard that the reward money would be reimbursed, she was even happier. She picked out two pieces of silver from her purse with a smile and handed the purse back, "Your Highness, here you go."

Xiao Mubei didn't answer and said, "This is for you."

Now it was Chu Yunxi's turn to be surprised. "Why give it to me?" She held up the two pieces of silver. "I have already taken back the silver I gave as a reward. It is not time to pay the monthly silver yet."

"This..." Xiao Mubei didn't know how to explain the reason. Saying I want to give you money? It doesn't seem good.

Chu Yunxi put the purse back into his hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not take less than what is mine, but I will not ask for more than what is not mine. If Your Majesty thinks that I have done a good job and wants to increase my monthly salary, then give me more next time when the salary is distributed."

After she finished speaking, she gave Xiao Mubei a bright smile, then left first and told Hei Mu to go back and call Hong Yu.

Li Jinghong walked to Xiao Mubei's side, looked at Chu Yunxi's back, and said, "My Lord, this Miss Chu is really an amazing woman."

Xiao Mubei raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said softly: "Of course I know."

If she wasn't a remarkable woman, how could he be so obsessed with her and feel he couldn't leave her anymore?

The carriage left the Dali Temple, with Xiao Mubei, Chu Yunxi, Li Jinghong and Hongyu sitting in the carriage. It first went to Li's mother's place. Li's mother had visibly recovered a lot in the past two days, and was sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

Seeing Li Jinghong, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi coming together, she immediately stood up, put on a mask, and went to greet them.

"Mom, you look much better these past two days." Li Jinghong looked at Li's mother with surprise. She was completely different from the one who was lying in bed coughing and unable to speak a few days ago. Now that she is in better spirits, she seems to look younger.

"Thanks to Miss Chu, her medical skills are so great. Son, you must thank the prince and Miss Chu."

Li's mother treated Chu Yunxi as her savior. Li Jinghong was also very surprised. He lifted his robe and was about to kneel down to Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi.

Xiao Mubei quickly supported him and stopped him from kneeling down, saying, "Li Shaoqing, what are you doing? As long as you handle the case for the Dali Temple well, you are helping me a lot. Don't keep thanking me."

"Yes, yes," Chu Yunxi also agreed, "I hate these red tapes the most. Li Shaoqing, if you keep being polite to me, I won't come. You don't consider me a friend."

She deliberately pretended to be angry, and Li Jinghong was touched and nodded heavily, "Okay, I won't say so much. I will definitely follow the prince's lead in the future. Miss Chu, I will treat you to a meal when I get my salary."

"It's a deal." Chu Yunxi smiled, then stepped forward to help Li's mother into the house, and said as she walked, "Aunt, you too, stop thanking me, or I won't come."

"Okay, okay, no need to thank me, my dear girl. When I get better, I will make you something delicious. You must come."

"Then I must come. I must try my aunt's cooking skills." Chu Yunxi helped Li's mother lie down, called Hongyu over, and began to teach her how to prepare medicine and give acupuncture again.

After finishing these things, the only things left were changing the dressings and removing the needles. Chu Yunxi explained everything to Hongyu again in detail and asked her to stay here. She went to West Fourth Street with Xiao Mubei and Li Jinghong.

The carriage was left to Hongyu, and Xiao Mubei took Chu Yunxi on horseback. When they arrived at Jinyutang, Xinghao and his senior brother were there. Jinyutang had not been open for the past few days. The two of them had already prepared all the necessary items for the funeral, and were just waiting for the Dali Temple to allow them to bring back the body so that they could arrange the funeral.

Xinghao's senior brother is named Xingyao. It is said that both of their names were given by Doctor Yan. Both of them have never seen their families since they followed Doctor Yan.

Chu Yunxi carefully checked Jinyutang inside and out again. This time, she went to Doctor Yan's bedroom and checked it out, but still found nothing.

"Xingyao, how long have you been following Doctor Yan?" Chu Yunxi searched in vain and called Xingyao over for questioning.

Xingyao looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five. He said honestly, "Fifteen years."

Fifteen years is not a short time. It seems that when he first followed Doctor Yan, he was about the same age as Xinghao was when he first came.

"Were you also sent here by your parents to study medicine?"

Xingyao shook his head. "I don't have parents. I'm an orphan. Before I met my master, I was begging in the capital."

He turned out to be a beggar, but there were many beggars. Why did Dr. Yan pick up Xingyao?

"Because when the master met me, I was almost frozen to death."

Xingyao was short and thin back then. He could never compete with the big beggars for food. If a kind-hearted person gave him money or food, other beggars would come to snatch it away, so he rarely had a full meal.

The winter of that year was particularly cold. It snowed heavily for seven days straight. Xingyao hadn't eaten for three days. He was cold and hungry, so he could only walk to keep warm. He walked from the east to the west of the city for a very long time.

Because it was too cold, every household had their doors and windows closed. Xingyao couldn't find anything to eat and finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted in the snow.

In a coma, he felt a gentle voice calling him, "Child, child, wake up..."

Was it his mother who came to pick him up? He tried hard to open his eyes, but they only opened a crack. He seemed to see a woman squatting in front of him, but he fainted again before he could see clearly.

When he woke up again, he was in Jin Yu Tang. There was only his master in Jin Yu Tang. His master was very cold and asked him if he was willing to stay. If he stayed, Jin Yu Tang would not keep idle people, so he would have to study medicine and work.

Xingyao was of course willing. Not to mention learning medicine and working, he would even be willing to be a servant. At least he wouldn't have to go hungry in the future.

He thought of the woman he had seen vaguely and asked his master tentatively. The master just said that he had seen it wrong. He also thought he was hallucinating. Later, there were many things to do in Jin Yutang and he needed to learn a lot. Slowly, he let the matter go. Now that Chu Yunxi asked him, he thought about it again.

"How does your master treat you on a daily basis?"

"Master doesn't like to talk much on weekdays," Xingyao looked at Xinghao, "When he talks to us, he is basically teaching us to know medicine and learn medicine. Master never hides anything from us, but if we make a mistake, he will also beat us with a rattan stick without mercy."

"So he is a strict teacher, and he is usually very cruel to you. You never dare to ask where he goes, right?"

Xingyao and Xinghao nodded at the same time. Their master went out every few days and seldom took them with him, so they really never dared to ask. One time, Xingyao mustered up the courage to ask a question, but the master glared at him coldly and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Since then, the two never asked again.
